WEBENCH® Tools/LM2596: PSB for LM2596

Part Number: LM2596

Tool/software: WEBENCH® Design Tools

Dear Sir

I made design in WEBENCH -  this project suits me completely - I would not want to change L1 and C OUT. Please see attach

Please clarify about PSB:

1) WEBENCH recommend to locate  caps COUT, Rfb2, D1 on the bottom of the PSB? I always thought, that it is desirable to have all the elements on the top side.

2) If I understsnd right, I can use LM2596 without heat sink in  this application?  Apparently, I need to make a polygon on the PSB for cooling  LM2596?

3) I can not really consider the traces on this drawing - how can I see them better?

4)  WEBENCH recommend to set C in caps - 4,7 microF, 3 pcs - does this really make sense? Why are they located on the board so far from LM2596?

5) I tried to see the 3D model, but it's all black and nothing is visible there.
